Episode 17: We Welcome Mike Ross to the Portage Bay Team

In this episode of the FileMaker DevCast, we welcome Mike Ross to the Portage Bay team. Mike is a seasoned FileMaker developer with over 35 years of experience and discusses his transition from running a one-person business to joining Portage Bay for continuity of care, shared expertise, and collaboration.

He shares his approach to database development, emphasizing simplicity and client involvement, and answers several questions from his new coworkers. Mike showcases two of the many solutions he’s created - one for a painting company and one for an artist’s collection of works.

He explains his choices in implementing features such as proposal templates, using hamburger menus versus button bars, and following an achor buoy methodology.

Mike also recounts his most challenging project - integrating Google Maps for a well-drilling non-profit in Africa that needed to map the locations of and distances between 3,600 wells.

We are delighted that Mike has joined our development crew and we think you’ll enjoy hearing from him as well.
